Analysis

Both model families pick Philadelphia Union, rating it at 51.2% — a consensus worth weighing, not a certainty.

The two have met 3 times, and Philadelphia Union won 2 of 3. 3 games is too small a sample to build on, so it doesn't feed the forecast.

They arrive from very different football. Philadelphia Union's last 5 produced 25 goals — 5.0 per game; they scored in 5 of them and conceded in 2. New York City FC's 5 produced 10, at 2.0 per game.

What to keep in mind

  • Philadelphia Union's games are very high-scoring at 5.0 goals — more goals means more variance and less predictability.
